Ribbon or Lace?

Hello friends. Gosh, how time flies, it's been over a week since I posted anything!! Anyway I am here now!! Something completely different from me today.

The weeks have rolled around to another new challenge at

Which is Ribbon or Lace?

Many of you will now that neither of these feature regularly on my cards, but if the occasion arises I use ribbon, usually in the form of seam binding ribbon. I have metres of this in white so that I can colour to suit. I love the way that it ties into a perfect bow too.

This is a card that I was asked to make for a customer to give to his Wife on her 95th Birthday. I actually used a Downton Abbey papercraft kit that came with a magazine last year and dressed it up with a new die. He was delighted and I am informed that Rosemary, his Wife loved it too.

Hope you will join us!!

Before I go this is a more recent photograph of our beautiful
Granddaughter Mollie Rose, can't believe she will be 4 weeks old on Sunday.

Wow gorgeous card Sarah! I'm not sure I could decide between ribbon and lace, I'm pretty addicted to both! lol. OMG, Mollie is just an absolute doll, you must be over the moon happy right now! sending hugs :)

Oh my Sarah, what a precious little one!! Love that photo! :) I had to get that out of the way first! :) Your card is absolutely STUNNING!! I love your die cut fancy gold border at the bottom and I'm completely with you on the ribbon...I have SO MUCH of it!! LOL!! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous design! HUGS

Well, it's a special card for such a milestone birthday. It's just as elegant as can be with the lovely papers, the classic designs, and I love that gold filigree border trim. It looks just right for a Lady! Thanks for sharing the photo of this darling little angel. How precious, and I'm sure you're getting lots of cuddle time. (hope so, anyway).
